123rd Street Overlook

This decaying structure overlooking the Hudson River just to the west of
Grant's Tomb is one of the numerous river overlooks in Riverside Park.
This one includes an abandoned comfort station and is unique in having
a roof, supported by marble columns and, perhaps, originally intended
to shield small social occasions. This is a fairly remote section of the
park, away from recreational areas and overlooking overgrown cliffs that
descend to the highway and down to the river, thus negating any real need
for a comfort station or such an ornate structure. But it seems that there
is also no incentive to demolish it, leaving it as an anomalous ruin.
